How To Improve My Day

Deck used is the Mystic Mondays Tarot by Grace Duong

Okay guys, let’s be real here. Bad days happen. Yes, even to the best of us. Sometimes, these bad days can get us down and make us feel like a garbage can. But it’s these times that we need to remember that there are ways to improve the bad days, whether that’s taking time out if you can, leaning on a friend for support, or even making sure you have your ducks in a row for the days that feel a bit better. I set this spread up with the thoughts in mind that I have depressive and anxious episodes on occasion and that sometimes, it’s okay to have bad brain days and that’s it is ABSOLUTELY alright if the only task that gets done during the day is brushing my teeth. There are ways to move ahead on days that feel better. Let’s explore some of them now.

The Cards

from the Mystic Mondays Tarot by Grace Duong

6 of Pentacles: flow, prosperity, giving and receiving

King of Cups: humanity, equilibrium, mindfulness

Strength: fierce, endurance, courage

So one thing I mentioned in the beginning of this spread is the fact that I occasionally deal with depression and anxiety and that sometimes, I’m so debilitated by them that I can barely get out of bed. I’m not saying I’m unique in this regard. On the contrary, I know many people occasionally get this way and for that, my heart reaches out to you if you’re experiencing this. What helps me through the anxious, depressive episodes, is knowing that I am a human with all the layers and complexities that come with that. I mess up, I stumble and fall. This happens because I am still a learner. Sometimes, I am doing really well and I feel on top of the world. These are moments I am grateful for. What helps keep me grounded and steady is being mindful. Getting into a flow with things can help me to work through the lows and allowing myself to give and receive love helps as well. Over the years, I’ve been told that I’m fiercely strong and have courage and endurance to go through what I’ve gone through in my life. There are days where I don’t feel strong… hell I’m not Wonder Woman after all… but knowing that I’ve gone through the worst and come out a better person is enough to help me hold onto the good things I have in my life now.
